Tragic Auto Accident In Burnet Claims 1, Injures 3

[olddawggreen]

A tragic one car accident in Burnet County Thursday night claimed the life of Jame Buce, who was a starting LB on last years football team. Also severely injured in the accident were SR. Varsity Baseball Player, Brent Guenter, SR. Varsity Golfer, Chase Watson and Former Burnet Varsity Golfer, Bear Courtney. The injured boys were Star Flighted to the hospital in Austin and remain there at this time. The game against New Braunfels Friday night and the rest of the season was dedicated to #22, James Buce. The team members all wrote #22 on their arms and #22 was chalked into the center of the field. A very unusual thing happened during the game, when Burnet stopped New Braunfel's final possession, the game clock read 00:22. James would have been very proud of his teammates Friday night.

You can't say it any better than that, Sinton66.....all life is precious, but it is especially tragic when we lose a young person. Please add my sincerest condolences and prayers to their familes.

My prayers are with the friends and family. There seems no loss as tragic as at this age - a time when they seem (and think) they are invincible. God bless those touched by this.

My son and I visited the boys in the hospital this afternoon. All three boys have gotten out of ICU and in time will recover from their physical injuries, the non physical injuries will last much longer. Brent Guenter will remain part of the baseball team for his SR. year, but will not be able to play, both of his legs were broken and they had to put metal rods in them. It is questionable if Chase will be able to golf this year. Its just too soon to tell. Hopefully all the boys will be recovered enough to go home sometime this week. The services for James Buce will be held at 2:00 Monday afternoon at tne Baptist Church in Bertram, Texas.
